Explanations of specialized process terms in the chemical industry

RTO (Regenerative Thermal Oxider, abbreviated as RTO) is a regenerative thermal oxidation furnace. The principle is to oxidize the organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaust gases at high temperatures into corresponding carbon dioxide and water, thereby purifying the exhaust gases

MVR is the abbreviation for mechanical vapor recompression; it involves using the secondary steam generated by the evaporation system along with its energy, which is then compressed by a steam compressor to increase the enthalpy of that secondary steam. This compressed steam is fed into a cooling tower, where the cooling water in the tower circulates to preheat the material. An energy-saving technology that provides thermal energy to the evaporation system in this cyclic manner, thereby reducing the need for external energy sources. ----From Baidu Baike, it is also said to be multi-effect evaporation.

TPM and Total Employee Participation in Improvement: T stands for Total (involvement of all employees), P stands for Productive (productivity), and M stands for Maintenance. TPM refers to the practice where companies, across all departments including production, development, design, sales, and management – from top management down to frontline employees – participate in repeated small-team activities. The goal is to reach the limits of productivity, to establish a system that can prevent all forms of waste, and to create an efficient enterprise with zero failures, zero waste, and zero defects. It also aims to foster a culture of active improvement within departments and teams.

TQM is probably related to quality management
